Answer:

The answer is: 13 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First Let us form equations with the statements in the two scenario

time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let the time in which the bell rings be 'x'

1. If Andrew walks (50 meters/minute), he arrives 3 minutes after the bell rings. Therefore the time of arrival at this speed = (3 + x) minutes

3 + x =\frac{distance}{50}\\distance = 50(3+x) - - - - - (1)

2. If Andrew runs (80 meters/minute), he arrives 3 minutes before the bell rings. Therefore the time taken to travel the distance = (x - 3) minutes

x - 3 = \frac{distance}{80} \\distance = 80(x-3)   - - - - - (2)

In both cases, the same distance is travelled, therefore, equation (1) = equation (2)

50(3+x)=80(x-3)

150 +50x=80x-240\\

Next, collecting like terms:

150 + 240 = 80x - 50x\\390 = 30x\\30x = 390\\

dividing both sides by 3:

x =  390÷30 = 13

∴ x = 13 minutes

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Area: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram you multiply the base times the height, or the length times the height. This is why you multiply 5x8 to get 40. The substitution could be 5 x 8 = X

X is the area.

The relative frequency of female mathematics majors will be 0.5142.

<h3>How to find the relative frequency?</h3>

The proportion of the examined subgroup's value to the overall account is known as relative frequency.

A sample of 317 students at a university is surveyed.

The students are classified according to gender (“female” or “male”).

The table is given below.

Then the relative frequency of female mathematics majors will be

⇒ 36 / (36 + 34)

⇒ 36 / 70

⇒ 0.5142
